The Outsiders Comparison Essay

I like the book better than the movie. I like the book better because I could decide what a scene would look like. For example, in the book, it describes True Son. It says, “The boy wore a brand-new calico hunting shirt. It covered the boy’s upper parts and halfway down his leggings. His hair was black and his face and arms brown as an Indian, but you couldn’t mistake the English cast of his features.” I could make up in my mind how I wanted True Son to look. In the movie, I saw what was on the screen, and couldn’t make the scene look how I wanted it

Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little

The movie had the power to paint a picture your mind. But it didn't have that information that the book had. The movie didn't have the explaining that the

The movie is fairly similar to the book except for a few exceptions. One of the main things is that the movie is less detailed and is faster paced. Another thing is that pony never went to the hospital after the fire and didn't have a concussion. When Dallas was driving to the hospital with Pony and he got pulled over by the police who was on a motorcycle. While At the hospital Johnny’s mom comes to visit him but Pony and Dallas don't talk to her. When Dally leaves he goes and robs a store and the police are after him. Then when the police catch him he raises his unloaded handgun and the police shoot him. He gets shot once and does a few rolls stands up and gets shot more. The gang goes home after finding Dally and Ponyboy starts writing the “Outsiders”.

The book, “The Outsiders”, has some similarities to the movie. For example, in both the movie and the novel Johnny died, also Johnny killed Bob in both the book and the film. For example, Johnny died in both the movie and the novel. “ ... The pillow seemed to sink a little, and Johnny died.” In the book Dally and Pony are at the hospital after the rumble and in the movie it’s the same way. Another example was when Johnny killed Bob. “” I killed him,” he said slowly. “ I killed that boy.” Bob the handsome Soc was lying there in the moonlight, doubled up and still.” In the movie and the book Johnny killed Bob when he attempted to murder Pony. Yes there are similarities, but there are also differences in the movie and the book, “The Outsiders”.

I preferred the book over the movie because I feel that the book introduced us more into the problems between the Socs and Greasers as well as the Greasers individual problems. I watched the PG-13 version of the movie and that one followed a lot of the key points of the book unlike the PG version. I really liked though that scene when dally snapped once Johnny died it showed the other side of Dallas Winston. In all it really did have good characteristic and it did kind of go along the book as well as it could. I do personally did like the PG-13 one much better it did a better explanation of things. In all Francis Ford Coppola did a really good job directing this movie and doing a lot of little things that didn’t need to put in like the gymnast

The movie was more interesting than the book because it helped me visualize the story. Most of the more exciting scenes from the movie are not in the book, this is why I like the movie more than the book.

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

However, if this was a review, and I had to be unbiased, I would have to admit that the book is much better. The movie cannot be as detailed as the book, and reading the book is a whole other story than seeing the movie. What you don’t get to experience when watching the movie is the different points of view. The viewpoint switches from person to person. This allows for more insight to be shed on some of the lesser characters throughout the book.

The book is better because it has more events than the movie. Watching “The Outsiders” movie, I was a little disappointed when certain events from the book weren’t in the movie. Ponyboy and Cherry didn’t talk about the sunsets very much in the movie. In the book, they talk about how they admire just sitting and watching the sunsets. Another event that wasn’t in the movie is when Pony and Two-Bit see Johnny’s mother at the hospital. I think that event is really important because it shows a little of what Johnny has gone through at home. However, some may say that the movie is better because it has all of the major events. But, even the less important events are still significant in some way.

In the movie and also the book ponyboy curtis is a fourteen year old boy that at first has a really rough life, because he is always fighting with his bigger brother Darry in the book,he has dark blackish - brown hair that is always greased back and it is long, but at the ending of the book he will have shorter blonde hair that’s a difference ponyboy in the movie it’s pretty much the

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

The novel and the movie were both very suspenseful. The main characters are both the same in the book and in the movie but are a little bit different then their counter partners in the novel/movie. In both the movie and

The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
